Garlic Planting

Oct 18, 2009

    Where aproximately 15-20 folks assisted in planting 175 lbs of garlic in beds on about 1/4 acre.  As part of our mission, we plan to support new and existing farmers using organic principles with micro-loans to help them establish their farms or to become locally viable in helping supply local food. Profits from the sale of the garlic will be used to support these micro-loans. MLT Board member Dennis Wilcox formulated this program and this kick off and is featured in the 1st picture:
